MIDDLE TOWNSHIP, New Jersey (WPVI) -- Police in Middle Township, New Jersey, are reminding parents to check their children's Halloween candy after a substance they believe to be heroin was found in a batch of candy.
Officers said the candy was collected at a Trunk or Treat event on Friday at the Family Success Center in Rio Grande.

The mother who said she found the substance did not want to be identified but told Action News she knew something wasn't right when she found a plastic baggie with a paper in it.
"I looked at it twice and I said, 'Wait, this is not candy,'" she said.
Police said this has been the only reported incident.
